I amsterdam City Card, transport pass or single tickets?
The I amsterdam City Card is not the only way to explore Amsterdam. For some trips single tickets or a plain transport pass are cheaper. Here is when each option comes out ahead.
| Option | A good fit if | A poor fit if | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| I amsterdam City Card | Many admissions in a short time, plus rides by bus, tram or metro. | Few admissions, long breaks, days without plans. | from €67.00 |
| Transport pass | You ride a lot but only visit a few paid attractions. | Many museums and monuments that would be free with the card. | price being checked |
| Single tickets | Two or three fixed stops, lots of walking. | A full programme over several days. | depends on your selection |
The rule of thumb
The card wins when your admissions plus rides add up to more than its price. If they add up to less, single tickets are cheaper, no matter how many attractions the card includes. What counts is what you actually visit.
